I am using Conti Contact UHP's on 19" rims. Wet performance is very poor. As the car is new I haven't tried any other tyre on this car yet, but I will be changing the brand when it's time to replace. 2010 Freelander 2 Select TD4 auto....gone

I have Pirelli Scorpions on my HSE, done about 7500mls, they seem ok in the dry and wet and acceptable road noise, etc

Well i've taken the plunge and booked myself in to get 4 new General Grabbers. Have been reading up on them and I only hear good things about them so for £400 fully fitted at home i'm a happy chappy !

Would these be any good for a Merc ML320? |

Had 2 General Grabbers 250/55 19's fitted on the Merc this afternoon, used Event Tyres. Great service and VERY reasonable! |

Like many others I will soon be up for a replacement of my original (G'year Wrangler A/W 235/60 R18) tyres. I'm particularly impressed by the lack of road noise from these, but found them a bit slippy in the ice. So I would be really grateful if anyone who's gone for something else can post their feelings about all aspects of their choice, including any change in road noise?? I'm also thinking about General Grabbers..... Freelander 2, 2007, TD4, Auto, HSE, Baltic Blue |

I put Yokohama Advan STs on a couple of months back. So far they are good in the wet, the dry and a little bit of snow. They do seem to be quieter than the previous Continentals, but that's very subjective. However they were £420 fitted and balanced. |

I've had 4 of them General Grabber UHP's fitted. Been on a fortnight and i'm very happy. Quieter than my Continental Contacts and certainly seem no worse for grip or wet performance.
